Hi All,
I have compared Dovecot performance to Courier and it appears that as a POP3 server Dovecot is slower in 2 times but as an IMAP server it is faster in 1.5 times. The same node (16CPUs), testing time is 30 min, please see results and dovecot configs attached. Benchmark software is MStone used by Sendmail Inc so is is quite reliable.
I do not see anything else to tweak in Dovecot to increase POP3 performance. Can we all have some tips to improve it please ?
The Middle Age has called, it wants POP3 back.

i have about 1000 pop3 tls logins per minute with dovecot ( one server ) ( real users ! ) so its simply fast enough, in real live , after optimize dovecot setup to your needs, at some point you will use loadbalancers/directors etc to pump up performance thats for all pop3 server you might use
